HELP - Chennai

[Aswath Kumaravel]

@Praks: yeah bangalore cops do stop TN vehicles but here in chennai they especially tardet punjab lorrys(2 b bribed) and dont even care abt othr state vehicles. And as markerOne said if ur gud at English u can easily manage cops by jus reciting a leave-letter in one breath

@Praks: My best bet will be this - Register in sulekha. Post an ad for "house wanted" and make it a premium ad. should cost around 300 i think. You will get really good houses from the house owners themselves. DON'T go in for brokers immediately. Keep it as a last resort.

For BB plans, I own a TATA WiMax connection since Airtel has said they don't have a feasibility in my area. So, check with the ISP first. I guess BSNL will provide services everywhere though...

@Aswath Kumaravel
Thanks for the tip buddy. Would try to pay road tax & be tension free.

@markerOne
Great tip. Thanks bro. Will go with paid thing on Sulekha.

Can someone pls share their knowledge on there two things.

Is there anyone / your friends/relative who like to rent their bike (Honda Activa will do) ? Mostly required on weekend.

Are there Meru cabs in Chennai ? Any other alternative similar to them who don't over charge & accept credit cards in taxi ?

@Aswath Kumaravel
Thanks buddy. Required near Ambattur & Guindy.

This is what my friend who stays in Chennai has to say on your query,

The best place to stay near guindy is velachery. It will be a bit costly but the place is having all the aminities, transporatation and bus service.

But ambattur is far from guindy itself. If you need to be stay near Ambattur then stay at Ambattur itself. That place is bit cheaper. Half costlier than velachery.

Another place is called manapakkn which is also nearer to guindy.

My suggestion will be stay at velachery. And ofcourse A/C is required in chennai. You can go for a fully furnished appartment with A/C or having provision of adding an A/C. Most of the houses in chennai having that facility. 1BHK house rent will comes arround 8K in velachery where as 2bhk furnished will comes arround 15K.

Thiruvanmiyur is another option but its neither closer to guindy nor Ambattur.

@rhitwick
Thank you for the effort. Can you pls ask your friend on two points ?

Is there anyone / your friends/relative who like to rent their bike for few days (Honda Activa will do) ? Mostly required on weekend.

Are there Meru cabs in Chennai ? Any other alternative similar to them who don't over charge & accept credit cards in taxi ?

^Lot's of Call Taxi services available. Fast Track, Ravi Brothers, etc. Just ring 'em up. Airport from near TIDEL Park (15-20 min from Guindy) cost Rs 130 or so. Airport to pretty much any place won't be below Rs 300.
